Where the contempt, the punishment for which is under revi ew in a hab?o? corp? proceeding, consist? of the violation of an order or decree of a court, the commitment will be sus- tained unless it is found that the order or decree disobeyed wa? absolutely 'void because the court wa? wholly without jurisdiction or power to make it.
